what is the flowering period for that particular strain?
If you are seeing clouding and ambering i would get ready to cut down. if just clouding, i would cut your lights for a day maybe two, and then harvest. IF they could use more time (10 weeker) thern you can definatly thin it out more. those lower droopy large fan leaves

Looks ready to go also but what do I know! My little auto is flowering and still has some time to go according to your pictures so thank you for them!

those plants are close to being done, u could clear some of the fans that are blocking lower budsites that could use a little more juice. Not needed but may help your yield.

It's a killawatt by seedism and says 8-10 weeks. Pistils are browning now but still straight and white on top so probably give her a week or maybe two? What you all think?

Leave the leafs, the plant will get rid of them when she does not need them, trust me, every leaf holds important nutrients and acts as a solar panel, removing the top to allow lower leafs to get light is not efficient, removing lower leafs already makes more sense so airflow is improved on the lower parts.

I wait until leafs turn yellow and let go with a gentle pull, leave them alone until then.

fine looking girls my man, ive heard both arguments about trim or not. I will remove some fan leaves in wk 7 of flower to get her to pull nutes from root rather than stored from leaves, ur choice. I tuck rather than cut til wk 7 on an indica dom strain. some reek terribly and some not so much
